This drawing is made with pencil on paper. It's simple, with lines and marks. The interesting thing about this work is that it was created by a composer, not just a visual artist, which makes you wonder about the connection between music and art. The composer, John Cage, was experimenting with different forms of art. He was known for pushing boundaries and trying new things. You can learn more about this kind of creative process by looking into the technique of stippling.
